News Round-up (08/06/2024)

 The "Yay!!! I have A/C back" edition.....


I'm still not entirely convinced that AI is going to revolutionize the way we do business, but our politicians are stupid enough that it might impact how we live (or don't live) our lives.

At this point does it really even matter?

*snicker* He's such an angry little man at this point. Here then is a more reasoned take. Probably better to take the latter over the unhinged ranting of the former eh?

At what point do we just feel really sorry for Houston's incoming Police Chief? On another note, is there any City Department that did not almost totally implode during the Turner Administration?

I mean, you distribute thousands of contraceptives, then you kick people out for dressing inappropriately?

And finally.....
